Power System Reactive Power Compensation and Harmonic Suppression Using SVG (Static Var Generator)

Electrical power systems form the backbone of modern infrastructure, requiring sophisticated techniques to ensure stability and operational efficiency. A key solution involves implementing Static Var Generators (SVG) for reactive power compensation, which regulates voltage stability and enhances power factor correction. Additionally, harmonic suppression techniques are critical for mitigating waveform distortions that compromise power quality. MATLAB simulations provide an effective platform for modeling these systems, where engineers can implement control algorithms using tools like Simulink and Power Systems Toolbox. Typical implementations involve designing phase-locked loops (PLL) for synchronization, PWM control strategies for inverter operation, and harmonic analysis functions (such as FFT) to quantify suppression performance. We encourage professionals to share implementation experiences regarding PID controller tuning, harmonic detection methods, and power electronics converter design approaches for optimized system performance.
